UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Balmy and beautiful...

...day here in Foggy Bottom, even with ambulance and motorcade sirens, plus helicopters buzzing the White House. UD's about to meet her sainted Honors Seminar group (many students have already left GW for spring break, but these people are stuck with a once a week seminar) to talk about Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.

This post's by way of a place-holder: When I get back to Garrett Park, I'll write about the latest Diversity draft from the University of Oregon, a lawsuit recently filed against George Washington University which is attracting front-page interest in the Washington Post, and of course some college sports stuff.
